System message log

If any of the power supplies show a status other than OK, consider replacing the power supply

as soon as possible. For certain switch models, the OEM serial ID data displays after each

power supply status line.

Checking temperature status

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2. Enter the tempShow command:

switch:admin> tempshow

Sensor State Centigrade Fahrenheit

=================================================

1 Ok 28 82

2 Ok 16 60

3 Ok 18 64

Information displays for each temperature sensor in the switch.

The possible temperature status values are:

• OK—Temperature is within acceptable range.

• FAIL—Temperature is outside of acceptable range. Damage might occur.

Refer to the hardware reference manual for your switch to determine the normal temperature

range.

System message log

The system message log, or RASLog, feature enables messages to be saved across power cycles

and reboots.

The Brocade DCX, DCX 8510 family, and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms maintain the same

RASlog for each of the two CP blades. Since all RASlog messages are routed to the Active CP, the

message CPU ID is added as part of the RASlog message attribute. RASlog message attribute SLOT

is defined to identify the CPU that generated the message.

For example, in the following message the identifier SLOT 6 means the message was generated

from the slot 6 blade main CPU:

2001/01/07-04:03:00, [SEC-1203], 2,SLOT 6 | FFDC | CHASSIS, INFO, C08_1, Login

information: Login successful via TELNET/SSH/RSH. IP Addr: 192.168.38.2050

and the identifier SLOT 6/1 means the message was generated from slot 6 blade Co-CPU.

2001/01/07-04:03:00, [SEC-1203], 2, SLOT 6/1 , | FFDC | CHASSIS, INFO, C08_1,

192.168.38.2050

Since RASlog supports Virtual Fabrics and logical switches, the FID (Fabric ID) displays on every

RASlog message to identify the source of the logical switch that generates the message.
